At €93,000 plus an estimated €100/m² refurbishment (≈€9,600) the effective price is about €1,069/m², far above the Lombardy median of €416/m². The house is habitable and shows recent works (electrical in 2022, insulation, double glazing), but the high effective €/m² makes this an overpriced listing for the area.
More on the house and the area
A neat, immediately-habitable village house with pleasant character (wooden balcony, brick arches) and a private courtyard. Good value for Lombardy, but shows dated bathrooms and carpets so expect light cosmetic work to make it a modern, comfortable home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €100/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€3,000 – €5,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Some dated bathrooms and interior finishes that would benefit from refreshing
- Small 40 m² courtyard in a shared corte (limited outdoor privacy)
- No notable views — central village setting rather than scenic location
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
